Heard about this place from word of mouth - it’s all true!! Come hungry - portions are nice sized. Great presentations, flavors are fresh & clean! Get there early because the seating is very limited and waitlist can be long, but well worth the wait! Had the Boston clam chowder, 1/2 order of Anchor Special, and the smaller portion of their Cioppino. It’s big enough to share!!

I really love the parklick for this restaurant. it is comfortable, cozy and the food is truly excellent seafood. the waiter really does a great job of letting you know what the dishes are and sells them just by giving a mouth watering description the specials. the night we went was a corn chowder that the description sold me instantly. lovely oysters delicious crab. the food really outstanding

6 raw oysters / so fresh, yummy, juicy, meaty. wow. outstanding. favourites were the “summer love”
the combination salad with thousand island / just to die for. perfect size. filling, fresh, and the dressing was to die for. good amount of fish on there.
10/10 will be back EXPEDITIOUSLY
If I could give a million, I would. The spot is cute and quaint, the food is spectacular, and the service is top-notch! I ordered an oyster shooter, house salad, clam chowder, and half size of the Wild Bluenose Sea Bass Puttanesca Pasta 🤌🏽🤌🏽

Top quality seafood, a result of the highly focused menu and passionately curated daily specials.
Stellar service — very professional. Quaint interior, perfect for a romantic date. Ask for window side seating (if possible) for great people watching along Castro.

Alex was an amazing server. Thank you very much to him for a wonderful time. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Oysters were fantastic. Rest of food was so yummy as well. We split of bottle of delicious rosé. Bit of a wait if you want to sit inside - we went on a friday around 4pm. We sat outside and there were heaters and blankets offered so not too cold. Will definitely come back

The Cippiono is one of the great dishes ever to grace God’s green earth. Sit at the bar with a crisp white wine and contemplate the poor facsimile your life was before you devoured this perfect dish.
